Former Chairman, National Union of Road Transport Workers, Alhaji Lateef Akinsola, a.k.a Tokyo, on Sunday commended the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, and the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Police Command, Mr. Joseph Mbu, for “their objectivity in the handling of the transport union’s crisis” in the state.

Tokyo was released after being interrogated by the police over allegations bordering on killings of innocent members of the public during a bloody clash between the two warring factions of the transport union at the Iwo Road park last year.

The embattled factional leader of NURTW in the state was arrested on Wednesday after voluntarily submitting himself for questioning at the Eleyele Police Headquarters, Ibadan, following the invitation of the Commissioner of Police.

He was later released from the Criminal Investigation Department, Iyaganku Police Division barely 24 hours after his arrest.

A group called The Front Line for Justice, in a letter dated December 7, 2012 by Hammid Yusuff, entitled, ‘Tokyo, A victim of political chess-game’ and addressed to the IGP, said, “We watched the way and manner the investigation was conducted without bias, despite strong political pressure from the party in power in the state to implicate Alhaji Lateef Akinsola.

“This goes a long way to show that the IGP has really done a great job in reforming and rebranding the Police Force.”

Contrary to the appointment of a 14-man caretaker committee headed by Alhaji Taofeek Oyerinde, a.k.a. Fele to replace Tokyo as Chairman of the transport union, the group said Tokyo should be reinstated in line with the order of the National Industrial Court.

Three quarters of the problems on our roads are caused by these hoodlums designated as N URTW in active collaboration with our various police units and departments. It’s either they’re busy causing mayhem on our roads or being used to eliminate political opponents. It’s high time these crooks are flushed out of the system.

It baffles me the way our various governments cooperate with these gangsters,armed robbers, assasins , murderers , thugs . This is one union in Nigeria that needs to be banned for indefinitely.They are the problem of the society. Governments or politicians should stop using them .

baba

Be corrected of your bad english. Not- ‘banned for indefinitely’ but ‘banned indefinitely’…You dont mingle english with Yoruba.

Who tells you that the man is a Yorubaman? When does Ozedzima become a Yoruba name? We Yoruba don’t have “Z” in our alphabets, or use it in our language. Next time, reason or research before you put your fingers on the keyboard to type nonsense.
